Jim Garry Quotes in Port Sinister (1953)

[referring to a giant mutant crab he just killed]

Jim Garry: Let's be on our way. This thing may have a loving family.

[bullets strike near where Tony and Jim are hiding]

Tony Ferris: They spotted us!

Jim Garry: Did you see where it came from?

Tony Ferris: I saw where it hit - too darn close!

Jim Garry: Do you think they have Joan?

Tony Ferris: No.

Jim Garry: What makes you say that?

Tony Ferris: They'd have to reckon with us. Kolvac is smart enough to know that Joan is better ammunition than bullets.

Jim Garry: [after Barden kills Reardon] Why did you do it?

Kris Barden: I always wanted to shoot one of you. He was the handiest.

Jim Garry: I've seen dogs that wouldn't claim you for a son, Tate.

Jim Garry: I've been mixed up in a lot of things, Tate, but up to now, I've never been hired for my guns.

Tate Riling: Can you afford to be so particular?

Tate Riling: Your cut will be $10,000.

Jim Garry: What do I have to do to earn it?

Tate Riling: Lufton's tough and my ranchers aren't. You make up the difference.

Jim Garry: Shotten, Reardon, and me. Hired gunmen.

Tate Riling: Shotten and Reardon get paid in gold eagles. You get paid in thousands.

Jim Garry: Yeah. Only difference between us is the price.

Jim Garry: It's about your son, Barden. He was killed in the raid.

Kris Barden: I figured maybe that's what happened when he didn't come home.

Jim Garry: I was with him when he got hit. Nothing I could do.

Kris Barden: Big price to pay for a little bit of grass.

Jim Garry: It starts with your double-cross of a bunch of jug-headed farmers and the hiring of gun hands. It goes on to your making love to a man's daughter to get her to turn against her own father, and your try for Lufton today. It's past that, to the death of Kris Barden's son, and it winds up right here, with Reardon waiting outside to see if I go with you, or if he shoots me in the back.
